Powders for homebrew ordered not as easily received as AAS?

[eckstg]

I was looking into the labs forum here for research on learning to homebrew since it suppose to be alot cheaper route and the idea of making higher concentrated gear and also less painfull injections by adding EO when i noticed most everyone there was sayin ordering powders is a thing of the past due to customs bein so strict on them and that they also carry bigger risk bein ordered if they get seized of the chances of you bein prosecuted.

I also read that if you actually find a supplier of powders at this point in time that they are most likely fakes.I don't really understand this since HCG gets through just as simple as liquid AAS but Hcg does come in amps maybe thats the difference.Was the powders packaged different than hcg in past?

Anyways my question is are powders for homebrewing virtually impossible to get now opposed to AAS bein so simple?

Plain and simple hormone powders are not being sent to the US anymore. HCG has medical uses. Enough powder talk.

Powder just isnt going to be flowing out of China for awhile now since that country is cracking down hard. The penalties over there are very harsh and nobody wants to take the chance of getting caught. Almost all sources have ceased business over there.

This may be a dumbass question but im just now looking into homebrew/powders for first time and from what your sayin china was only powder supplier to US?

I'm sure it won't be long until other countries pick up where China left off.

Contrary to what some people are saying, powders are still available. But if the supplier(s) don't know you and haven't done business with you before, forget it even before you begin, they will not give you the time of day and for damn good reason.

Besides, as easy as it is to get any kind of ready made compound you want, at reasonable prices, it just doesn't make any sense to buy powders and all the equipment needed to make your own.

If you have a reputable supplier, forget the hassles and uncertainties and pay a little more for premixed gear, it is worth it.

Even suppliers with great reputations and ones that have done business with customers for years and know them well have closed their doors. Very few still up and running. The risks over there just arent worth it to them. Punishment is very severe for breaking the law.

The point Maldorf is making here is forget trying to source powders, the consequences for getting popped for them is severe.

Experienced UGL's and established brewers still get it, otherwise no one would be buying any premixed aas, but it is now an extremely closed availability and for good reason.
